Seriously? Is this really needed? Foil Swords already exist as promo and normal swords are about 2€. There is no need to increase the amount of pimp on the market.

We NEED FoW goddamn

[alphastryk]

Ugh, seriously? It doesn't even look good. We already had an old border foil!

Swords to 3-woods?

FOREs to Plowshares

[TsumiBand]

Honestly I can't stand old frames anymore. I wrote a 1538-page letter to Wizards went it happened - this was like, 10 months after I started playing , so of course I raged about it - but man did I get over it quickly. Especially the bit about emphasizing power and toughness in the way that they have; in retrospect on older cards, p/t looks like an afterthought, something that just gets jammed in the corner and forgotten, because you'd rather be playing Black and Blue spells anyway.

I stand by my golf club comment. It looks like a driver.


FOREs to Plowshares

haha yes. much better.

Now all I want to see is an alternate StP art based on this:

Personally I dislike the new card frame and have since they started using it, but that's besides the point here.

I love foils and I collect foil sets and love to play them and show them off to people, and nothing gives me more pleasure that beating someone in the face with my all foil Death and Taxes deck... at least as foil as it can be without looking ugly, ie: the judge Karakas. I hate the Karakas mainly because of the enormous and hideous shooting star across half the card, it's over done. I would've wanted a set of them if the shooting star wasn't obnoxious, but tastefully done such as the old frame foils, set foils, or even the way they did the stars for grand prix where the set symbol goes. Just ugly across the whole text box, so because of that my Death and Taxes deck has a set of FNM StP and a set of foil Ports and a set of MPR wastelands, the awesome foils, you know, not the ugly Karakas. 71 of 75 cards foil is better than 75 of 75 if it means not playing the judge karakas. The picture on the judge swords is fine, just not iconic for the card that everyone loves, but the non-selling point for many I know and I'm sure many of you guys/gals on the Source, is the star across the text box like that.

End of rant about the hideous judge promo shooting stars... at least until they make another one of my favorite cards ugly with it.

The art looks like a blurred picture of Tiger Woods.

There's already a foil version (this takes the exclusiveness aways, although the old frame and original art put the other version way above this one), I think there are far better options for Judge Promos, Force of Will being the elephant in the room.

I do like the fact that they are giving older cards Judge Promo treatment. A small part of me still has hope for a Reserve List abolishment and the consequential flourishing of the best format in Magic.

I wish they just used the Terese Nielsen art. That would look awesome in foil.

[Aggro_zombies]

Wow that art is ugly.

[nedleeds]

HAHAHAHAHAHA here you go buddy thanks for all your hardwork! A $5.00 turd foil. :cry:

A judge could work as a 3rd world farm laborer for better pay off.

WotC: we need non-foil Korean old border judge promos! Now! Pay these people!

Old brown bordered non-foil Korean Chalice of the Void / 3ball / Lodestone Golem / Blightsteel (Grrr!) would be insta $200.

- Art looks like someone threw up
- Modern frame
- Foiled

That's three strikes. Disgusting.

Dont forget Crucible of Worlds. A card designed by players deserves to be in old brown frame.

So you're choosing Korean over non-Foil? Ew. I can't stand foreign cards and people who use them annoy the crap outta me. At least foiling adds life to the card.

[Rock Lee]

Can't believe all the tears and crying here. I like the stp promo. Gives two options to a staple that will exist indefinitely. Amazing what people will weep and whine about.

[Megadeus]

I like the effect that the picture gives. It's definitely different. I do agree that the shooting star is kinda Meh. But I mean its still a unique art to Magic.

[kingsey]

Beta swords to plow has the most class.:laugh:

[Adryan]

The art is awesome :smile::smile:

[FieryBalrog]

Recently picked up an FNM foil swords, this doesn't really make me regret that decision

old border, ABU artwork + John Milton quote > new border, dark blurry foil, random EvT duel deck quote

[RJM]

So ugly.

[saspook]

It is a neat idea for a foil, and it probably looks really nice in person (minus the hideous shooting star). But the Elspeth Vs. Tezz StP is just so much better.

This is up there with Goblin Welder as a bad judge reward promo.

[Barook]

I can understand that people are pissed. But stuff like Bribery isn't exactly high money tier, either.

Judge FoW would be pretty nice, but it would definitely have the new frame and shitty, new art (see MTGO promo FoW).

Imperial Recruiter is money, though. I also wonder how much a JMS would pull off if it was released as Judge Foil, considering the ridiculous foil prices.

[TsumiBand]

Guys. Where are my Dogma Swords to Plowshares? I haven't pursued the endeavor in any way and they haven't fallen out of the sky yet. That's bullshit.

[xfxf]

Nothing like the good old Ice Age StP.

[Mockingbird]

Personally, my favorite art of Swords to Plowshares is the Duel Deck version art from Elspeth vs. Tezzeret. This one is alright, but my problem is that it's too literal. I still like it... alright, but I'm going to classify this as one of the promos where Wizards goes over the top... like with the Judge Promo Land Tax.

[(nameless one)]

I like the Promo Land Tax. It feels very abstract to me.

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

Ugh, seriously? It doesn't even look good. We already had an old border foil!

[baghdadbob]

Not feeling it.

Walk us through how foil equates to 'life' ... do you mean warping and marking?

I'm glad you are annoyed by non-english cards, always fun to get on the nerves of somebody who doesn't know the card pool.

Foils do suck, but honestly I could do without the hard-on for non-'native language' cards. It's no different than the oddball textless cards that got released for a time. Textless Lightning Bolt is rad, but it's also one of Magic's oldest cards. Textless Cryptic Command? Fuck you.

There's not much difference in my mind from a textless card and a foreign card. It'll never happen, but I do wish people would consider ubiquity when playing with foreigns.

This is the hottest thing I've ever seen.


I just like seeing staples as judges rewards but I like it when they are also expensive cards so that it can sometimes help with supply. Cool StP art, though. I'd rather see it in an old frame.

I once lost a game because of small details i missed on a foreign card: a japanese or korean Porphyry nodes. Since then i call a judge each time someone plays a foreign card i have the slightest doubt about, That ennoys the crap out of them.
